MacroSystem Photo-Studio - Manual (Page 16)

- “Remove”: Clicking this button will delete
the active photo from the storyboard without a
prompt.
- “Length”: Clicking this function will display a
slider with which you can adjust the length of
the active photo on the storyboard.
- “Create”: When you have created your
complete slide show, you can click this button.
A prompt will appear with which you can
specify whether a scene is to be created for
each picture. This will make it possible for you
to add dissolves (to the individual photo scenes
inserted in the storyboard) in the “Transitions”
menu window later. If you cancel the function,
the whole slide show will be processed as one
scene.
After you have processed your slide show, exit
from the menu window by clicking the menu
symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Clicking
the right-hand trackball button is not possible
in this case, to prevent accidental cancellation.
After exiting from “Photo-Studio”, you will find
the processed slide show in the scene bin of
the “Edit” menu window. Now add the scene(s)
to the storyboard and add any dissolves in the
“Transitions” menu in order to give your slide
show the “finishing touch”.
5.3 Miscellaneous
The “Miscellaneous” option includes various
functions, which are explained below:
5.3.1 Print, Export
Clicking this button will open a new menu
window. You will see the Photo list in the upper
section and the familiar options “Mark images”,
“Info” and “Preview” in the lower section.
You will find the following functions under the
“Export images” option:
- “for other programs”: Clicking this button
will open a window which gives you a choice
between “Save” and” Delete”. Clicking “Save”
will open the Casablanca archive, where,
for example, you can access the “Caladan”
program. You can save under any name. You
can remove photos already saved on the list by
clicking “Delete”.
- “to memory card”: If you click this button, a
window will be displayed which will give you
the choice of a “Memory card” on which the
desired photo can be saved, provided that you
have connected a card reader. (Otherwise the
Casablanca SmartMedia drive will be the default
setting). “Image quality” can then be selected.
After you have made these settings, click “Ok”
to save the marked photos on the desired
medium.
- “Print”: When you have clicked on this button,
the photos previously marked will be printed out
in order. If the printer will not start, a warning
message will be displayed, asking you to check
all the cables, the paper and cartridges. If you
have only installed the demo version of the
Photo-Studio program, you will be unable to use
the print function.
- “Printer settings”: A window will appear in
which you can select the format of the printout
(15 x 10, 18 x 13 or 29 x 20). You can then set
the brightness, contrast and colour saturation
settings as percentages.
5.3.2 Info
Clicking this information button will display
information on the program version.
